also there was a headline that read "Insatiable is just the latest example of Netflix not understanding teenagers" and I think that is absolutely untrue
I'm the same age as the characters and they talk and act like real 17 year olds. Patty is just like a lot of girls I know
it's easy for me to get absorbed because the characters do seem like real people

but yeah, leave it to some freelance journalist in her late 20's to 40's to decide what real teenagers are like 🤷‍♂️
